How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Stonestreet Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you are dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Stonestreet Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as Stonestreet Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The timing of a visit to Stonestreet Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stonestreet Green
Look up Stonestreet Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Stonestreet Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Stonestreet Green sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stonestreet Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Harvey Hospital about 3.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Stonestreet Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common questions in Stonestreet Green
Which environmental health team covers Stonestreet Green?
Kitchens in Stonestreet Green are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Stonestreet Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stonestreet Green included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Stonestreet Green can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Somewhere as small as Stonestreet Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stonestreet Green?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
School kitchens, at schools like Aldington Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
